    Description

    Some scholars say that the Welsh name Gwyddbwyll originally meant the same tafl game played in Ireland under the name Fitchneal. Like the latter, the Welsh name has confusingly come to mean Chess in modern Welsh. Most other scholars however disagree that this is the same as the Irish game which was played on a 7×7 grid.

    The alternative opinion that the game was played on a 7×7 grid is described at Celtnet. The initial set-up described there may be slightly speculative, but again it is believed that the other rules not described there were identical to Brandubh.
